Live today

Two products built by the studio, one platform operated for a client, one in the making. Everything is real, everything can be visited.

In production

Naralive

Series where readers vote on what happens next.

A consumer platform and the studio that produces its episodes: a chain of some sixty steps — writing, dialogue, voices, manga, video — orchestrated by agents, with characters that keep their memory from one episode to the next.

Working together

Three ways to work with Owalee

You don't have a CTO

Fractional technical leadership

The studio takes on technical responsibility — architecture, team, trade-offs — without you having to hire.

  • A diagnosis and an estimate you can decide on
  • Technical leadership alongside the founders
  • Audits of debt, cloud costs and risks
You have a product to launch

From idea to launch

Scoping, development, launch — then operations, carried over time rather than delivered and abandoned.

  • Web, mobile (iOS / Android) and TV (tvOS / Android TV)
  • Video streaming: players, encoding, delivery
  • Back-ends, APIs, serverless architecture on AWS
Your teams want to move faster

AI applied to your business

Agents and workflows wired into your real processes, with cost and quality guardrails — and your teams trained.

  • Agents, LLMs, RAG, workflow orchestration
  • Multimodal generation: text, image, voice, video
  • Training for product and engineering teams
Method

How we work

  1. Scope

    1 to 2 weeks

    We clarify the problem together. You leave with a costed scope, a target architecture and the risks laid out — useful even if the collaboration stops there.

  2. Build

    in short cycles

    A usable version early on, then a demonstration every week. Trade-offs are made on something concrete, not on slide decks.

  3. Launch

    and over time

    Launch, observability, documentation — and a clean handover to your team. The goal was never to make you dependent.
